Yahoo! News/Providence Journal: Everyone wants something from Rhode Island’s part-time lawmakers. Here’s the list.
"It targets specific instances when the government has used APRA to stonewall specific requests, like RIDOT's decision to withhold accident data it collects from all of Rhode Island's municipalities," says John Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island.
"With respect to the Washington Bridge emails," he said of emails for which different media outlets were charged anything from zero to $450 for the same 236 pages, "the bill would lower the costs by doubling the amount of free search time given for each...

San Diego Union Tribune: In Chula Vista, when it comes to public records, not much is public
Sean McMorris of California Common Cause, a Los Angeles-area nonprofit that advocates for good government and open records, said there are many reasons cities should post responses to public-records requests.
Activists, lawyers, business owners and everyday citizens can review the postings themselves without having to interrupt city employees by submitting a redundant request, he said.
"It also creates a record for the city in terms of litigation," McMorris said. "It induces them to respond more thoroughly because...

Capitol Beat News Service: Paper ballots focus of latest election reform push
Anne Herring, policy analyst for Common Cause Georgia, raised concerns about the latter provision.
“The governor and lieutenant governor get to vote on whether their own races will be audited,” Herring told LaHood’s committee. “That’s a little concerning to me in terms of public confidence in elections.”

The Guardian: How Ohio Republicans ignore voters – and the governor – in power grab to pass laws
According to Catherine Turcer, the executive director of the government watchdog group Common Cause Ohio, which is part of the Citizens Not Politicians coalition, the group has trained about 2,000 volunteers to collect petition signatures.
“It’s clear there’s this disconnect between what it is that ordinary Ohioans want, and what it is that the state legislature chooses to do,” said Turcer. “There is real interest in ensuring that we have accountable government.”

Yahoo! News/WCMH: Ohio GOP at odds over future of House Bill 6
“At the end of the day, this corrupt legislation means that we don’t have money we could be spending on other things,” Executive Director of Common Cause Ohio Catherine Turcer said.
HB6, in part, gave two Ohio Valley Electric Corporation (OVEC) coal plants a consistent stream of revenue, from Ohioans.
“To the tune of $153,000 per day,” Turcer said.

Albany Tines Union(사설): 이러한 조치는 뉴욕의 선거 무결성을 보호할 것입니다.
2023년은 뉴욕 선거의 도전적인 시험이었습니다. 유권자들은 재구획과 전국적인 주목을 받은 의회 선거 스캔들에 대한 끊임없는 법적 싸움을 견뎌냈습니다. 정부에 대한 신뢰가 전국적으로 계속 감소하는 것은 놀라운 일이 아닙니다. 의회 경계가 바뀌고 논란의 여지가 있는 선거 시즌이 다가오면서 유권자들은 더욱 바쁜 한 해를 맞이하게 되었습니다.
그렇기 때문에 입법자들은 우리 법률의 기존 빈틈을 메우고 유권자들을 위협으로부터 보호하는 보호 장치를 신속하게 마련해야 합니다.

Associated Press: Indiana legislation would add extra verification steps to prove voters are eligible
Julia Vaughn, executive director of transparency and voting advocacy group Common Cause Indiana, said that 30-day timeframe is unfair. She worries the bill could catch people who become lawful citizens and voters whose names are still on the temporary list.
“The failsafe has to move like clockwork right?” she said. “And in the real world, clockwork doesn’t always happen.”

트럼프의 SCOTUS 사건에서 헌법을 지지하기 위한 Amicus Brief 제출
오늘 Common Cause는 미국 대법원에 친구의 변론서를 제출했는데, 그 내용은 도널드 트럼프 전 대통령이 1월 6일 미국 국회의사당 폭동에서의 역할을 이유로 콜로라도주 수정헌법 제14조에 따라 콜로라도주 투표에서 제외되어야 한다는 것이었습니다.
이 사건은 콜로라도 고등법원이 최근 14차 개정안의 "실격 조항"이 대통령에게 적용되어 전직 대통령 트럼프가 주 투표에 참여할 자격이 없다고 판결한 후 항소되었습니다. 콜로라도 공통 소송은...

Georgia Recorder: Georgia House approves revised prosecutor oversight commission as Senate investigates Willis
Common Cause Georgia executive director Aunna Dennis called the measure a politically motivated bill that does not provide a clear roadmap of checks and balances it is supposed to adhere to. A better step would be to correct some of the deficiencies in last year’s bill that established the oversight commission, Dennis said in a statement.
